On April 27, 1944, my father, Jack William Stead, was shot down during a
bombing raid over France. What follows is an autobiographical account of his experiences
with the French Underground. His life was spared because of the bravery of the men and
women who were a part of the French Underground. For that I (his son) and the entire Stead
family are forever grateful.
